Unlocking a bathroom door with a hole can typically be done in one of several ways, depending on the type of lock mechanism [1, 2, 3].
To pick a door lock with a hole, you typically use tools like a small screwdriver, paperclip, or specialized lock picking tools. Insert the tool into the hole and manipulate the lock mechanism, applying gentle pressure and attempting to move the pins or tumblers into place to unlock the door.

When someone puts a sock on the door, they're letting their roommate know they have company over and need privacy, typically for romantic or sexual reasons.
Rule 2: Never pick a lock that is in use.
The outer knob has a hole in the center that lets you insert small rod (in our case a paper clip). This pushes on a pressure plate that disengages the latch. You can then turn the outer knob and open the door.
